Admissions

Benilde-St. Margaret’s School is always interested in attracting academically qualified students to join our diverse and rich student body.  This includes students with special talents outside of academics including fine arts, performing arts, activities and athletics.

BSM abides by the MSHSL regulation (Bylaw 308) regarding contact and communication with prospective students and families. Coaches cannot initiate contact with prospective students and families.  BSM employees may not reach out to students from other schools. Coaches can talk about their program when a prospect asks but need to direct prospects to the BSM Admissions Office. Once a family reaches out to BSM we can speak to them. They do not need to have applied or even be in the admissions process if they call us.

Activity Registration

An updated health history update form must be completed for each season a student participates in a sport. Physicals are valid for 3 years from the date of the last exam. 

The seasonal fee will be assessed each season, after rosters have been finalized. The fees will be charged in the same way as all other fees, through Blackbaud Tuition Management.

Sports Medicine

An athletic trainer will be on campus for the majority of practices and cover most home varsity events to ensure the safety of the participants. An Athletic Trainer will also cover high-contact, home JV events for hockey, and football, and cover away varsity football. Through the use of cell phones, the Athletic Trainer is accessible in case of emergency.

It is important for families to note that in cases of an injury at an event, or during practice, the School will attempt to honor the families request regarding the choice of a personal physician or a designated hospital of choice; however, the School reserves the right to secure the most available and qualified assistance in cases of an injury to a student

Some student-athletes have a goal to participate in athletics at the collegiate level. Benilde-St. Margaret’s School Athletic Department, College Counselors, and coaching staff are willing to help student-athletes pursue this goal. To this end, we offer the following advice for our student-athletes:

  • Communication with your BSM coach(es) is essential. Student-athletes who have a strong desire to compete at the collegiate level should consult with their coach prior to their junior sport season;
  • The driving force behind college selection should be the academic fit. Athletes should identify their desire to compete at the next level and work in conjunction with their College Counselor to develop their list of potential college choices;
  • As an athlete pursuing collegiate sports, you should create a resume and cover letter that represents your overall high school experience and highlights your athletic accomplishments. Your college counselor should review the resume before submission to coaches/college personnel;
  • Be proactive in marketing yourself to college coaches by creating a highlight video, forwarding game schedules, completing the online recruitment questionnaire on the college’s athletic department website, etc.;
  • BSM videotapes games for coaching purposes and not all games are documented. Coaches will help secure copies of any game videos when they are available. If a family wants additional games documented, they may do so at their own expense;
  • If you are considering NCAA Division I or II institutions meet with your College Counselor to discuss the process of registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse;
  • NCAA Division I, II, and III institutions all have separate academic requirements;
  • Review all NCAA Academic Eligibility Requirements with your College Counselor and visit the NCAA website at the eligibility center.
  • Student athletes will benefit from taking the ACT or SAT for college entrance by February of their junior year;
  •  If you wish to compete in NCAA DI or DII in your first year of college, you must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center and be certified academically and as an amateur. Student athletes completing the BSM curriculum as outlined in the Academic Program Guide will exceed minimum NCAA course requirements;
  • Once you have registered with the NCAA Clearing House, you must request through your College Counselor that your high school transcript be sent to the NCAA Eligibility Center at the end of your junior year.
  • In coordination with College Guidance, the athletic department holds a College Athletics Recognition Event (CARE) for all athletes that commit to play college athletics. You should plan to attend these events to celebrate any of your student-athletes that participate in the CARE Ceremony.

Benilde-St. Margaret’s School, through its College Counseling Department and the Athletic Department, will provide on-going assistance and guidance as needed throughout the year for any BSM student-athlete, and their parents, who are interested in college athletics.
